Properties of Matter
As Grade 4 delved into the states of matter, the changes of state, the different properties of materials, our students learned first hand at the local brick kiln, the process of converting mud into a durable and strong brick. They saw the mould used to cast the brick and the process of baking these at a high temperature for approximately 3 months. Student questions were translated and answered by the workers at the kiln. Students also tested the strength of the raw brick vs a baked brick and saw the change in properties. They also observed the chemical change in burning wood to get charcoal.
